The format is: (W-L for the last 5 matches in that Match Up of Player 1, Overall Win % in that Match Up), Head to Head Statistic, (W-L for the last 5 matches in that Match Up of Player 2, Overall Win % in that Match Up)
YellOw[ArnC] (5-0, 65.56%) 1 - 0 (1-4, Who cares?%) go.goI don't know if you've seen any of Yarnc's recent games, but they've been just fantastic. He's still inconsistent as hell in ZvP, but his ZvT and ZvZ have really stepped up a level. The last ZvT he lost was against Shine about 3 months ago. Before that, it was against Flash. His muta control has also been just as impressive lately, both in ZvZ and ZvT. go.go... No, his play has not been impressive. The two games he recently won, both TvTs, were both pure build order wins. The game against Bisu? Fail DTs and a timing push by go.go. I haven't seen any good plays from go.go... Since last year when he played an excellent TvT with Canata.
type-b (3-2, 66.67%) 1 - 0 (2-3, 65.31%) LetaI honestly can't form any opinions about type-b. He's played 2 games in the last 2 months. All I know is that he read Leta like a book last time he played and sniped quite a few vessels, which lead to Leta's downfall. He played a very clean game, only marred by several mistakes. Leta... He's 1-4 in his last 5 games overall and he went 0-3 in the Proleague Playoffs. He's definitely not himself right now. The game he played against type-b was just marred by mistakes. The only way Leta can get back into this is if he gets that awesome army control he had in Proleague back.
Canata (2-3, 55.38%) 0 - 1 (4-1, 58.97%) fantasyCanata hasn't really shown any brilliant stuff in his most recent games. He almost took Jaedong out of the MSL, but the only two games he won were from cheese and a timing push that Jaedong misread and sacrificed a ton of his forces against. However, I won't deny that Canata's army control has come a long way in TvZ. Certainly not as good as many other players, but it's definitely improving. fantasy... What is there to say about him? If you've watched any of his recent games, you'll know that he's really at the top of his game. While he did get knocked out of the MSL 0-2, it was by Bisu, and that's nothing to be ashamed of. He's shown time and time again that he's a fairly consistent player, and considering that TvT was his best match up before he turned into a TvP monster, I think his TvT game sense is sufficient enough to pull him out of this.
ZerO (1-4, 47.62%) 1 - 7 (2-3, 77.45%) JaedongNo, that is not a mistake. ZerO and Jaedong have met 8 times, with Jaedong taking the majority of the encounters. And who's honestly surprised at this? Before his little slump, JvZ was the most imba match up in SC. Sure it's less imba now considering that you now have JvE (when E doesn't 12 hatch) and JvS (S = Slump), but Jaedong can easily take down EffOrt.
My Predictions
+ Show Spoiler +
Group A
YellOw[ArnC] < Heartbreak Ridge > go.goYellOw[ArnC] < Outsider > go.goYarnc is a ZvT specialist. How can he lose this. If there's one match up that I trust Yarnc in against a player of go.go's calibur, it's ZvT.
Group B
type-b < Return of the King > Letatype-b < Holy World SE > Leta]Leta, Leta, Leta... What are you doing. I don't see Leta playing well after his previous performances... I mean he's lost his last 4 games against non-S class players.
Group C
Canata < Outsider > fantasyCanata < Return of the King > fantasyCanata Canata... You almost knocked Jaedong out of the MSL. :O Very close... But not quite. I have faith in fantasy's TvT.
Group D
ZerO < Holy World SE > JaedongZerO < Heartbreak Ridge > JaedongIt's still JvZ unless it's JvE (and EffOrt doesn't 12 Hatch).

The first game of each set is game 1 played last week.
Group A
YellOw[ArnC] < Holy World SE > go.goYellOw[ArnC] < Heartbreak Ridge > go.go+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
Yarnc screws up early game and has go.go charge into his natural with about 12 MnM. He takes down at least 6 drones, quite a few lings, and a sunken before retreating. At this point, it's just a game of catch up for Yarnc as he's so far down economically. 6 Drones down is just too much and Yarnc GGs after a valiant fight off of 2 gas.
YellOw[ArnC] < Outsider > go.go+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
go.go goes for a 10 rax, 10 depot, 10 gas build, and looks to add some early pressure on Yarnc's natural. He has three marines take out an overlord outside of Yarnc's base, but Yarnc gets a sunken up in time to stop marines from taking down his natural hatchery. However, it's poorly placed and fails to stop vultures from harassing his ramp. go.go is able to sneak two vultures into Yarnc's main, but speedlings clean them up before they can do any real damage. go.go screws up and sets his rallies into Yarnc's sunken, so his reinforcements get killed. go.go can't do any damage with his vultures and he doesn't have any anti-air against the mutas that Yarnc was hatching. He GGs.
Group B
type-b < Outsider > Letatype-b < Return of the King > Leta+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
type-b goes standard 3 hatch mutas, but opts to use speedlings + 2 sunkens to fend off Leta's early MnM. That doesn't work out well for him as he pretty much loses all of his speedlings to try and take down Leta's forces, so he's down economically going into the midgame. Leta tries to tech switch into 3 port wraiths. type-b senses a moment of weakness and he charges in with 5 lurkers and a ton of lings. He takes down the bunkers, but wraiths save Leta's base before the lurkers can do any damage. type-b has no units to defend against the wraiths and probably no resources either, so he taps out.
type-b < Holy World SE > Leta+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
If you saw Jaedong vs. Canata yesterday in MSL, you'll recognize the build that type-b went. 2 Hatch lurkers into slow drop into Leta's base. Leta just didn't have the forces to divide up. type-b went for a massive attack on Leta's front with lurkling while leta was dealing with 2 lurkers in his main, and broke 2 empty bunkers and 1 bunker full of marines. Leta was pretty much screwed at this point. He GGs.
Group C
Canata < Heartbreak Ridge > fantasyCanata < Outsider > fantasy+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
Mmm... TvT just takes too much effort to describe. Like he always does, fantasy does some hyper aggressive play with his early dropship and takes out Canata's natural gas. fantasy repeatedly comes out on top in pretty much every battle, so he wins.
